Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I just got home from a Mexican holiday with my best friend from work, and now I can't stand her. She acted like a sex maniac in Mexico. She got drunk every night and slept with a couple of different guys in a week. I went down there for fun and sun, not to be half of a stupid drunken duo at a resort.

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I just got home from a Mexican holiday with my best friend from work, and now I can’t stand her. She acted like a sex maniac in Mexico. She got drunk every night and slept with a couple of different guys in a week. I went down there for fun and sun, not to be half of a stupid drunken duo at a resort.

 

One night, she tried to kick me out of our room so she could bring in a guy and be alone with him in bed. I refused, and kicked them right back out in the hallway. The next night she snuck a guy into her bed quietly while I was sleeping, but I ended up waking up and all hell broke loose between us. He ran!

 

Now we’re back in Winnipeg at work, and it’s like nothing happened. She’s her ordinary self and wants to be friends again. We work together and it’s really awkward. What do you suggest? I’m not sorry for anything I did, but she should apologize to me.

— Her Fault, Not Mine, The Maples

 

Dear Her Fault: You should restore peace, but make a rule never to travel with her again. It’s best to have a pleasant relationship at work with her. If she never apologizes about the trip, be civil anyway for the sake of work, but let the friendship cool somewhat.

 

The next time you go travelling, go with a different friend you don’t have to see every day back at work. Consider getting your own rooms, so you have privacy should you meet someone, and a place to get away from your travelling partner and take a break from each other every day.

Did you know a lot of newlyweds can’t stand each other 24/7 on their honeymoons? It’s just too much intense time with anyone.

Creative powerhouse Perry Rosemond never lost Winnipeg roots

Ben Waldman 7 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

He created King of Kensington, directed the troops in the Royal Canadian Air Farce, and his creative eye was behind the lens for television shows starring Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, Mr. Dress-Up and the Friendly Giant.

He also wrote and developed the Canadian version of Sesame Street during his time as the head of school and preschool programming for CBC in Toronto, and directed a televised special in 2002 for Winnipeg sketch comedy troupe Royal Liechtenstein Theatre Company.

But before his name featured in the credits of some of the most iconic and influential pieces of the Cancon canon, Perry Rosemond was an only child living in a crammed, multi-generational home in Winnipeg’s North End, racing each day to beat the morning bell next door at William Whyte School.

In memoirs that have yet to be published, the late television producer recalled his childhood. “(T)here were 14 of us in the house at 193 Andrews St., and it wasn’t that big of a house,” he writes.

Mayoral candidate Vogiatzakis criticized for living outside Winnipeg

Malak Abas 3 minute read Friday, Oct. 2, 2026

A mayoral hopeful took heat from other candidates Friday for living outside Winnipeg while running in the civic election.

Mike Vogiatzakis’s primary residence is in the Rural Municipality of St. Andrews, about 25 kilometres north of Winnipeg — a community with its own mayor and councillors.

But the funeral director said he owns a home in Winnipeg where he divides his time, and he would move to the city full-time if elected mayor.

“It doesn’t matter where a person lives. Why are we dividing St. Andrews and Manitoba and Winnipeg? I’ve met the criteria to run for mayor,” Vogiatzakis said Friday morning.

The election of our discontent: City at a crumbling crossroads, grumbling residents say in poll

Matthew Frank 6 minute read 2:37 PM CDT

There’s an undercurrent of unhappiness running through the Winnipeg electorate as the municipal election day approaches.

One-half of Winnipeggers believe the city is heading in the wrong direction, according to a new Abacus Data poll, with nearly one-third unsure if Winnipeg is regressing or progressing.

Only 21 per cent of residents believe the city is on the right track, the Free Press-commissioned poll found.

That discontentment extends to how the city spends its tax dollars, with four in 10 Winnipeggers believing they receive poor value for what they pay in property taxes.

Brandonmeat packer thriving on its own

Abiola Odutola 3 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — Canada Packers has strengthened its business and laid the foundation for future growth during its first year as an independent company, its president says.

The Brandon-based pork producer, separated from Maple Leaf Foods in October 2025, established its own leadership, strategy, systems, culture and identity while continuing operations across its hog production farms and regional hog barns in southern and eastern Manitoba.

The company’s first year was focused on building a successful standalone business while continuing to serve customers, communities and shareholders, president Dennis Organ said.

“Market conditions over the past year have been more challenging than we anticipated when we became a separate entity,” he said in an email. “Despite that, we continued to execute against our priorities, including increasing processing volumes, maintaining disciplined operations and strengthening the business.”

May be whiff of truth to ex’s odour ardour

Maureen Scurfield 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I ran into an old boyfriend I used to curl on a team with, and we went for drinks. We’ve been almost eight years apart, and I couldn’t remember why we broke up, as we always had such a great time together.

It wasn’t until the second date — this time on a weekend — that it came back to me, with a jolt. Pee-yew! I remembered he doesn’t use deodorant on weekends. Why? He enjoys his own body odour. I recalled that a bit too late, and it was just as awful as ever! I went home early.

Tonight, he called and I refused him another date. I said, “Think back. You remember why we broke up?” Then he said, “Oh yeah, you hated my no-deodorant weekend policy. Well, guess what? Some women don’t mind!” I said I really doubted that, and that ended the conversation. Miss L., wouldn’t any women find stinky underarms offensive?

Broadening prediction-market gambling a bad idea

Editorial 4 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

Let’s make a prediction: sooner or later, when Canadian governments find a way to take their own cut of the action, prediction-contract gambling on everything from sports to entertainment to political decisions is going to come to Canada.

And that’s a horrible, dangerous, pernicious idea.

Unless you have particular access to information — either inside information or strategic information based on skills or education — you’re not likely to make money at it. In fact, structurally, you’re likely to lose. In prediction markets, you basically pay an amount, plus fees from the company involved, to bet on whether something will or will not happen within a certain time frame. The amount you pay for your contract depends on how other people are also betting.

As Wealthsimple describes it, “You buy whichever side you think is right. Prices move with demand, so if the market leans towards one outcome, the more that side costs. If a lot of people are backing the TSX to finish above 38,000, yes gets more expensive and no gets cheaper.”
